Fall 2013 Colors

Are you thinking about the fall colors? I am.  Check out this video from Pantone...lovely colors.

Build Zone Projects

I have been working my way through Deryn Mentock's online class "The Build Zone".  This red necklace is strung with a vintage box clasp, a significant departure for me as I hardly ever string beads or use commercial findings.  It gave me an opportunity to use my great grandmother's red seed beads and I am very pleased with the result. (The vintage thimble and charms are from Watergirl Supply).

The black fetish horse necklace is more my style...wire wrapped components and forged clasp.  The black fetish horse is very special, it is Native American made (most that you find now are imported).

I am thoroughly enjoying the class.  The videos are well made and chocked full of information.  And I like being able to view them as often as I want.  Deryn is an awesome teacher.
